This place is a winner for tacos—you really can't go wrong with them! I made the mistake of trying the Coctel de Camarón y Pulpo, but I was only served shrimp, and honestly, the cóctel just isn't up to the standard of the tacos. My biggest complaint, though, is the checkout process: since it's a combined store and restaurant, the register asks for a tip on the entire bill, even the retail items I purchased. That part I definitely don't like.

I’ve been waiting to try motor city tacos!

The building itself isn’t huge. It’s a small dining area attached to a small grocery market. They have many staples a Hispanic family could need.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I ordered three tacos (Mexican style) to go. All the tacos were served with sliced grilled onions and cilantro. Grilling the onions and having them sliced as opposed to diced was a nice touch.

The chicken taco was good. The flavoring of the chicken was nice. The steak, while chopped small and cooked well was not flavored much. But the Al Pastor taco was great! The marinade really shinned through. If you eat pork I highly recommend trying this. The hot salsa wasn’t very spicy and the mild was nice. About what you get at most Mexican restaurants.

Food is great. When you walk in a Mexican restaurant and see a lot of native Spanish speakers, you know the food is good.

I like the out door seating, I can get crowded inside. Perfect for take out :)

If you ever feel like a taco, this is the place to go. You never experience a taco until you try this place. Very reasonable priced. Wait staff are very friendly and great at what they do. The Cameron and asada tacos are like no other. You gotta try. Get there on off times. This place gets busy

I can't get a better birria or carnitas taco anywhere!!! Love the service always polite. My 9 yr olds favorite Mexican restaurant. Hands down the best tacos!!! Rice and beans. We love this place! Outdoor seating is peaceful also while grubbing out with your favorite Mexican dish!!

This is a very good food. It's a nice little mexicona restaurant. Recommend for all to go and come and eat regardless of your dining. In or taking out the price is wonderful. We usually buy 8 tacos for 22 bucks. You can't beat that, that's 4 of them. It's with a meal, beans and rice. Good price.

Best Mexican food in Waterford! Never disappointed. Good food and good portion size. Only wish they were open longer. Love the birria tacos and the enchiladas. We get carry out from here almost weekly.

Authentic Mexican food with a family feel to it. Can't wait to come back.

This place is 20/10!! Me and my boyfriend came here for an early lunch before we headed to the beach and we wanted to find an authentic Mexican spot as we are both Mexican food lovers. Food was flavorful and filling, prices were fair and the service was 10/10! Will definitely be back when in the area.

Great authentic Mexican food. It shares the restaurant with a Mexican grocery store so not necessarily a date night atmosphere but great nonetheless. An excellent choice for fantastic food without having to go all the way to Mexican Town in Detroit.

When you are here you need to try their Tongue tacos, pastor Tacos and barbacoa those are your winners!
They have other stuff like Ceviche tostadas, quesabirrias, chicken, etc plenty of things in their menu and the prices are rly good.
All the way in the Back of the store in the fridge area there’s a few other desserts. Theres one cake like with a delicious Bailey’s flavor that you will want to devour!!

First time I see a Mexican Taco place/store around here as clean as this one!
Food is authentic and authentic flavors. They have a few pieces of Pan Dulce (Mexican bakery) and they have a small area for Mexican groceries as well where you can find peppers, cactus, Mexican treats and many other products.

I was super disappointed in the food I got a chicken burrito it was dry and not tasty at all, I threw it away, The Mexican bread was very good, maybe it was just a bad menu pick I don't know, I would have to try something else to be fair
